Yes, I went down the wrong roads and made all the bad choices,
I ended up in places I never should have been-in ways that tore my spirit apart.
Truth be told, I don’t know how I got so down and out,
Nor how I made it out intact and still whole.
At the end of my rope and hating who I’d become,
I hit rock bottom.
Everyone counted me out and no one gave me a chance...
Even I didn’t know how to dig myself out of the hole..
But you know,
That’s the thing about a spirit that won’t give up.
I don’t know how to quit and I’m meant to become more in spite of my rough start.
It was never meant to be the end of my story, I just had to begin a new chapter- one where the Phoenix rises from the ashes.
I pulled myself up, dusted myself off then fought and clawed my way back.
I didn’t ask for help and no one offered me a hand, but that was what I needed to forge my own courage and build my own strength.
My dreams didn’t have an expiration and I wasn’t going to quit on them or myself.
I know I’m a mess sometimes,
A bit of a broken soul with glimpses of beauty stashed in between,
But I’m good with that.
I made my way, earned my place and I’m fighting to make my story a success.
I’ve got a lot of love to give and a passionate fire that can’t be quenched.
Sometimes, you realize along the way that you don’t set out to be strong and courageous,
But when you’re left holding the pieces of a life gone wrong,
Those are the only choices you have left.
It’s not that I’ll ever be heroic, strong and amazing like the fabled stories of heroes and lovers,
But at least I’ll write my story my way, and that’s what matters most of all.
I don’t have to set the world on fire, just be on fire for my life-
The kind of flames that make your heart and soul feel totally alive.
I may be beautifully broken and wonderfully imperfect,
But I’m still standing.
I’m still strong.
I figured out where I needed to go and what it would take to get there, so I made a choice:
I didn’t ever go looking for a hero-
I decided instead to become the hero of my own story..
One small victory at a time..my way.

There are days like today when everything seems so overwhelming that I feel like I’ll never get ahead.
Things go wrong, I get down on myself and life seems like a never ending uphill battle.
Those are the times I stop myself, take a deep breath and remember how far I’ve come.
Sure, I’m not where I want to be, but that’s okay.
I’m a work in progress.
Maybe I don’t have it all figured out, but I don’t have to.
Life’s a journey, not a race.
I’d rather have quality moments than rushing through to get some place doing something with someone and not enjoy the ride.
Forget that noise.
I don’t want to look back and wish I’d taken the time to experience life and sipped from the many varied flavors of experiences.
No, I struggle, but then, that’s just part of it.
I battle and fight, even get knocked down and hurt.
But every time, I get back up and start again.
I’m many things- woman, friend, wife, mother, aunt, survivor, lover..
But I’ll always be a fighter.
As I look into the mirror at the end of my day, I can see the ghosts of all the women I once was and they’re smiling.
They see the person I am, the woman I’m fighting to become ..
And I see how very proud of me they are..
And that’s when I remember that I should be, too.
I could have given up, taken the easy way, not fought to become a better person.
That’s when a little smile creeps across my face.
Watch out, world.
I’ve still got a lot to do.
And just like that,
I know I can do anything..
So you know what, I think that’s what I’ll keep doing..
Anything and everything, maybe a little something in between.
I got this.

As I watch the amber hues of a fading sunset dip below the horizon, my heart smiles with contentment.
My heart is full and my soul is at peace.
It’s just one more reminder of the beauty in the moments.
As I open my eyes and breathe in, the serenity of the quiet evening settles over me like a warm and cozy blanket.
This is why I stopped looking for the next thing to buy, next place to go and the next person to make me happy.
None of that ever really made me feel alive, passionate and purposeful.
I thought having all the latest and greatest would fill the empty places..
But it never did.
I kept going from one thing to the next thinking I’d find what I was looking for..
Only I was looking in the wrong places.
Until I started listening to my heart and chasing the moments and adventures that made me come alive, I was wishing for something that would never happen.
But now, being present in my life, living in the moments, putting away my phone and appreciating the beauty of my life..
That has changed everything.
I want to do all the things the world seems to have forgotten about.
Laying in a field under a star filled sky.
Turning down the windows and turning up the music..
Feeling the wind in my hair and grasping forever in my hands.
That last song, last kiss, last bite..
Those are the moments I’ll spend my life enjoying.
Sure, tomorrow will still be there and reality is always just around the corner..
But today, right now, in this moment,
I want to immersive myself in these immeasurable experiences that free my mind and electrify my spirit.
In these moments, I could live forever.

No more empty promises and lack of action.
If you want us to work through things and I’m the one you want, then stand up and step up.
I’m done trying to read your mind to understand what you want or what you mean.
If we can’t communicate openly and candidly about our relationship, then I need to rethink where my heart belongs.
I know we could have a great future, but it takes two to put forth the effort..
I can’t keep putting my heart out there and trying to make it work when you’re just stuck in place.
You know how I feel and what I want, I’ve made that very clear..
It’s time for you to do the same.
If you don’t know what you want or if you’re unsure, then I’m not the one for you.
I need meaningful words backed up by honest action-no more empty promises or “hopefully soon.”
That’s not fair to me and I’m through trying to guess what you want.
I love you with all my heart, but this is where two people need more than just love..
They need communication and effort.
I’m not your maybe or possibly kind of gal.
You’re either all in or I’m walking away.
Not because I don’t want this or because I don’t care about you,
But because I love myself more than to be in a holding pattern while you “figure things out.”
It shouldn’t be hard to express your feelings if that’s how you truly feel.
I’m worth the effort and much, much more.
So, I’ve been letting this go on for far too long and I’m done being the one left holding my heart, wondering what’s going on between us.
If I’m not the one for you, just step up and tell me-you owe me that much, at least.
I guess I’ve finally hit the wall where my patience has run out.
I didn’t want to be this way, but it’s an empty feeling wondering how your partner truly feels.
It’s now or never, put up or shut up time..
Are you going to step up and make your feelings known?
If you keep waiting around expecting me to be okay being just an option, think again.
Wait too long and in the blink of an eye, I’ll be gone.
It all comes to down to this..
Can you be the person I need or are you going to be just another broken road?
I don’t need a hero, a Prince Charming or a fairy tale..
I just need real, honest and respectful.
I’m ready for forever..are you?

I woke up today and I realized I needed more than the life I had been living.
As I looked at the woman staring back at me in the mirror, waves of emotions washed over me.
Feelings of sadness, frustration, emptiness and even a touch of regret invaded my mind.
All the things I haven’t done, all the people I’ve lost along the way and the memories and dreams that I forgot as I got busy living..
It’s not that I ever thought I’d be here- right where I am thinking about all the things past and present.
And the thing is, I need more.
I deserve more.
I’ll never regret where I’ve been, the people I’ve loved and the choices I’ve made-
That’s made me who I am and I know, deep down, I’m where I’m supposed to be.
I’m at the crossroads now..
And it’s up to me to fight for what I want and deserve.
The best love..the best life-
All the things that I’ve always wanted have always been there, waiting for me.
I’ve been too busy chasing empty pursuits or making excuses why I couldn’t and can’t that I talked myself out of my dreams.
I’m done living that way.
I deserve more.
I’m going to get back up, dust myself off and start climbing my way back to the top.
I’m going to keep looking up, rising up and lifting myself up until I get where I need to be.
I know it won’t be fast, easy or painless…
But I know it’s necessary for me to grow, evolve and find my way.
Life is a journey and if I’m honest, I know that I haven’t given it my all.
The tired eyes staring back at me tell me one thing:
I need more joy in my life.
I don’t totally know what that looks like or how I’ll figure that out, but I’ll get there..
But I can’t do anything if I’m content to stay where I am.
I must grow, change and evolve if I want to find my purpose.
I have a feeling it will be a roundabout topsy turvy path that will take me everywhere and anywhere..
But most of all where I need to be.
I’m done letting everything and everyone come before me.
I’m choosing me now.
Maybe it won’t be glamorous and beautiful, but it will be real, honest and all me.
And I know that one day, looking back, I’ll know it was the best thing I could’ve ever done.

I used to worry about what everyone thought about me and I fretted if I didn’t fit what they thought I should be.
I spent my time chasing the images and labels the world tried to fit me into until one day, I just had finally had enough of the nonsense.
I realized that the only happiness I was chasing wasn’t my own- it was everyone else’s-and I made up my mind that my happiness was more important than that.
I couldn’t please everyone and myself, so I made a choice..
I chose myself.
It was the best decision I ever made.
I stopped apologizing for who I was and started loving the parts about me that the world wanted to change to suit their idea of what I should be.
Forget that- I’ll never be happy squeezing into some box or label about what I “should be.”
Sure, I’m a mess some days and other times, I don’t know whether I’m coming or going, but I live every moment authentically.
No games, fake or pretend..
With me, what you see is what you get-
Real, authentic and genuine.
I may not sugarcoat, play nice or say what you want to hear, but I’ll always tell you truth..
The world needs more of that.
I’m a handful to most, they’d say, but I’m a handful of the best things:
Passion, determination, courage and of course, my signature feisty attitude.
So, forgive me if I don’t ask anyone’s permission to live my life the way I see fit or I don’t apologize for being true to myself.
I will not seek approval for my life, now or ever.
I’m too fiery for some, too sassy for others, and that’s okay..
I know I’m not everyone’s favorite person.
I’m good to my people- the ones who get me.
They accept and appreciate everything about me- even when I’m ugly crying about a bad decision or because I chased the wrong love.
No judgment, just love.
That’s how I know they’re my people, because they treat me like I treat them.
I’m not saying that I’ve got it all together, because I don’t- not even close.
I still cry in the shower sometimes and lay in bed mustering up the strength to just get up and face the day.
All in all, I’m pretty much a beautiful mess and a handful of disaster most days, but I’ll always have a smile on my face and a pep in my step.
Not for anyone but me- because I’m living my life the best I can, taking each day, one at a time and making the most of the moments which give me happiness.
Maybe I’d like more of them and maybe each day doesn’t go the way I planned, but I acknowledge the gifts I have and the people I’m blessed to have.
I’m real, I’m down to earth and I’m passionate about the things and people I care about.
The day I stopped chasing the wrong things and started being the real me, everything changed.
Now, maybe every day isn’t beautiful, but there’s beauty in every day..
Starting with me.
And no one can ever take that away from me.
I’m happy with me..just the way that I am.

Do you remember when you used to believe in magic, your dreams and that anything was possible?
It was a wonderful time- your life was in front of you and you believed in yourself..
Somewhere along the way, life dragged you down and beat you up.
Little by little, you stopped believing in your dreams, your hopes and even yourself.
You starting just trying to survive and stopped really living.
Bad choices, bad people and bad things drained the life right out of your soul..
It’s time to change all that.
You’ve been mired in darkness too long, looking around and wishing your life was different.
Maybe you’ve even been jealous a time or two of others, thinking they had it made.
Stop.
Breathe in and realize that the only thing stopping you is you.
You haven’t lost your magic and your gifts are still there..you’ve just stopped believing.
Yes, I know it’s not “that easy” to decide to change and start evolving.
I’m aware there are challenges and it can be a formidable task.
Where do you start?
How do you start?
What do you do first?
Exhale and calm your thoughts, for you’ve had the answers all along..you’ve just stopped listening to your heart.
You don’t have to conquer the world in one day and success isn’t measured in big steps,
but the little victories in your day that begin to build your momentum.
No matter how hard you’ve had it, how far you’ve been down or how much you’ve been hurt…
That’s in the past.
Don’t let what’s gone shackle you from what could be.
Stop looking around and wishing you could be someone else..
You’re amazing, just the way you are!
Your gifts, talents and blessings have been there all along.. you’ve just forgotten them and stopped believing in yourself.
That’s easy to do, I get it.
Who do you want to become?
What are your dreams?
Stop asking the wrong questions and start asking the right ones..
Then ruthlessly pursue your life in a way that leads you to where you want to be.
But always remember, the beauty of life will never be in the destination, but the journey along the way.
Take baby steps, live in the moment and start to take back your life and find your magic.
If it’s writing, painting, taking trips, whatever it is..discover the joys that bring you happiness again.
Start there and let the light fill your spirit.
One moment, one day, one change at a time.
Your whole life has led up to this moment.
It’s there,
Waiting for you.
It’s your time to stop looking around and start looking within.
It’s time to find your magic again.
Find it, own it and never look back.
You got this.

She was the quiet and unassuming type, the beautiful soul that most found to be a mystery.
Not because she was shy, but because she valued her words and spoke when she had something to say..not just to be heard.
There was a quiet resolve about her that many would overlook, because they were looking for the obvious..
And nothing about who she really was became readily apparent.
She tucked her truths behind high walls to protect herself and her heart from a sometimes cruel world.
But no matter what life would bring crashing down upon her, she just kept going.
She might falter for a moment, but she always found a way to reclaim her strength and push ahead.
That quiet mystery of a woman was more than any average person-
She was a brave soul with the heart of a warrior and through her determination, there was nothing she couldn’t overcome.
She did things her way in her own time, without fanfare or attention, because she didn’t care for the spotlight.
What she valued and wanted were the things of substance:
Love, passion, depth and beautiful adventures.
She’d never care for worldly possessions or the latest gadget,
She craved the intangible things that made her feel alive.
Yes, she’d been heartbroken and torn in half, but those failures only made her better, not bitter.
She learned from her failures and celebrated her successes quietly.
Chances are, you could watch this quietly amazing woman walk by you and you might never know ..
That you’d just seen the most remarkable person you might ever know.
Strong, deep and determined,
She was one of a kind, and not easily discovered.
She was walking proof that you can have your soul torn apart and still live beautifully..
One day, one smile, one gorgeous moment at a time.
